THE RAILROAD DISASTER
Ascribed TO n Bridge Faulty I'm
Material and construction.

Mater1al ana COhstfuct1On.
Boston, March l5.-All night large
force of laborers was engaged in clearing
up the debris of the wrecked cars at the
scene of the bridge disaster. 1t was
slow work and but little headway was
made, yet the men labored hard, and
when the light of morning was sufficient
for the continuation of the work without
the necessity of artificial light, it pro
gressed more rapidly. hopes were
stretched around the scene and all per-
sons not actively engaged in clearing the
wreck were forced to keep outside the
line. A large force was set to the task
of taking the broken bridge apart. The
baggage.car and one of the rear cars of
the train had been completely de-
molished. and all that marks the spot
where Those two cars fell at the base
of the embankment, is heap of kin
ding wood. The wreck is more
appalling sight than the recent ruins at
the White River Junction, and this
points strongly to the fact
that the train was running at speed of
fully twenty-five miles IN hour. The
forward cars, which lie on the embank.
ment and in the roadway, remain in the
same position as when they fell. There
were Undoubtedly nine cars on the train,
as the tops of nine are to be found, but
the remains of the cars are in such
siate of demolition that it is impossible
to discern how many there were. In
consequence rumors have prevailed that
there were but eight cars in the train.
The General Manager of the road
declares that the bridge was one of the
strongest on the road, despite contrary
rumors. Professor Swain. of the Insti-
tute Of Technology, who made an exam.
ination of the wrecked bridge, thinks
that there were serious defects in some
portions of the bridge, not only in the
material, but in the manuer of its con.

KAIDING INDIANS.
DEMONSTRATING APaches Detected
by PrOspectOrs.

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., March l5.-Jim
Tate, who has been prospecting in the
Dragon mountains, arrived in this city
last night. and reports seeing three In
dians between the hours of and A
o'clock P. M. yesterday. The Indians
were rapidly crossing Sulphur Spring
valley, about four miles southeast of
Bauers ranch, and he mistook them for
ranchers who had lost some stock, and
paid no more attention to them. About
one hour after, Tate, who was in Sc
cluded little gulch, hearing noise
where he had three horses and burro
hobbled, looked up, and not thirty feet
from him he saw three armed Indians,
each of whom was mounted on an
American bay horse, in the act of lasso
ing his animals. Tate and companion
attacked the hostiles, who broke and
ran up steep mountain side, leaving a
rope and other objects behind in their
flight. Tate thinks there may be other
indians in the mountains who had no
horses, and that these Indians are some
of the few that are reported as having
stolen away from the reservation and
that they are on horse.stealing expedi-
tion. Later reports confirm the above.
More Indians have been seen in the
same vicinity, and fears are entertained
of another outbreak. The Indians were
going south when seen to-day. General
Miles has issued orders to the troops at
Fort Lowell to hold themselves in readi-
ness to take the field at q moments no.
tice. The Generals disposition to
promptly quell an Indian outbreak is
hailed with satisfaction by our set tiers.

Apaches Out on a HOrse-Stealing
Expedition in the Dragon
Mountains.

Associated Press Disatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, March l5.--Judge
Murphy rendered his decision in the
matter of Attorney Deuprey's contempt
of court, in refusing to answer certain
question on the witness.stand in the
Goldenson case. The question was as
follows: "Have you ever received any
communication, letters, affidavits, name
or addresses from persons purporting to
be witnesses in this case, outside of the
defendant" The Court, in long de-
cision, held and directed that Deuprey
should answer the question propounded.
Deuprey then took The witness.stand
and answered the question. The Judge
thereupon ordered that the order citing
Deuprey to show cause be vacated. This
case is peculiar one. Deuprey,
in the first place, accepted retainer as
counsel for the defendant, Goldenson.
He delayed the trial of the case on sew
eral occasions, alleging. as reason, his
being occupied with cases in other
courts. Judge Murphy finally informed
him that he must either 60 on with the
case or withdraw from it. On his fur.
ther refusal to do SO, Judge Murphy
appointed Messrs. Cook and Campbell as
counsel for the defendant. In order to
better defend their client, these latter
gentlemen wished to obtain all informa-
tion from Deuprey that had been COM
municated to him by the.defendaut, and
cited him as witness in the case.
Deuprey refused to answer questions
put to him and was held in contempt.
Cook & Campbell, counsel for the de-
fendant. repeatedly claimed that the
only object they had in eliciting this in.
formation from Mr.. Deuprey, aud which
he refused to give, was to save, if posi-.
BILE, the defendant from the gallows. Mr..
Deuprey to-day. on being cited to show
cause, answered that he was in posses.
sion OF no Information respecting the de.
fendent, other than that received as de.
fendant's confidential agent. Mr.. Camp.
bell thought this answer an evasive one,
but Judge Murphy considered that, as
Mr.. Deuprey had answered that he had
no Information, such as was implied in
the question put to him, his reply must
be accepted as satisfactory. The pecu.
liarities of Mr.. Deuprey's position in
this matter evoke considerable comment.

Probably Lost I'm the snow.

News was brought to town a few days
ago that Mr.. Russell, an elderly gem
tleman formerly of this place. had prob
ably perished in the snow on the upper
Santa Maria. He had been holding a
claim for Mr.. Cox, few miles beyond
the Peralta ranch. and was seen at the
cabin the day before the storm. 1t is
thought that when the storm COM
menced he started to go to the Ballenger
ranch, where he had been invited to
come in case of danger, and that he got
lost in the snowdrlfts. He was very
feeble and as he had been missed over
week up to the time the news was
brought in, the chances are he has per.

EDITOR HERALD--In your report of
the meeting of the City Council, held
yesterday, published in this mornings
DAILY HERALD. we are informed that
there is to be no change in the location
of the pesthouse. Mr.. Goss and his
brickyard and his Cinnamon must be
protected at the expense of large num-
ber of families. Mr.. Goss is reported as
saying shat he had brickyard at the
mouth of the cafion proposed for the
pesthouse," and that more teams wonld
have to pass the new site than the one
now in use. Now we assert land we
defy contradiction by Mr.. Goss or any
one elsel that there is no person living
or settled in said canon except the EN-
ployes of Mr.. Goss and others manufsc.
turing brick in the mouth of said canon,
and nearly all of said employee, are
Cinnamon. There is no regularly trav.
eled road or highway through said
canon. The teams referred to by Mr..
Goss must be teams hauling brick from
his yard, and they must Of necessity
travel in and out of the mouth of the
cafion and would not go near the pest.
house if located near the upper end of
said cafion. Where the pesthouse is now
located there is public road passing
Immediately in front; quite settlement
OF people are living above the pesthouse
and these must of necessity pass very
near the same in going to and returning
from their business. Their children
must pass the same road going to and
coming from school. Every afternoon
there is strong current of air passing
down the canon by the said pesthouse
into and among the houses and yards of
about from forty to sixty families, not
more than from 400 to 600 yards from the
pesthouse; also public school of about
ninety children. The Orphans Home
is situated in the same neighborhood.
Several children in the neighborhood of
the pesthouse now have the smallpox,
and must have contracted the disease
either from the draft of air from the
pesthouse, or from the careless manner
heretofore praeticed in taking patients
to the pesthouse.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we have endeavored
to give the facts as they exist. We are
taxed to the value of our property for
the support of the city, state and county,
and are, in our humble opinion, entitled
to some protection to our property and
for the lives OF our families, from those
in authority. We as we'll as some of
our neighbors have, as a matter Of pre-
caution, sent a portion of our families
away by reason of the nearness to us of
the pesthouse. We shall see whether
the lives and property of fifty or sixty
families will be protected by the city
authorities, or whether Mr.. Goss. his
brickyard and Cinnamon shall be pro.
tected in our stead. Mr.. Breed is quoted
as saying that 1.-THE present place i good
enough" We are of the opinion that if
the mothers living in the vicinity of the
pesthouse had hold of him for few mo.
ments he would change his mind, and be
in favor of more isolated locality for
the smallpox. j. B. HoLLAwAY.

Public Education ON This Coast

WASHINGTON, March l5.-In the
Education Convention, which is in
progress here, City Superintendent f.
s. Campbell, of Oakland, California,
spoke of the public education of the
Pacific Coast. He dwelt at some length
on the night schools and their advan-
tages, and paid attention to the needs OF
the large class which they met. In the
early days OF the settlement. of the
West, he said, the East was, as matter
of course, far ahead of the West in its
facilities and its systems Of education,
but he felt to-day that the West had
profited by the example of the East in
reaching out for the very best educa.
tional facilities possible. An interesting
discussion followed, led by S. Water
man, of Stockton, California, and j. p.
Fogg, of Eureka, Nevada.

PORTLAND, Ogn., March l5.-It is
learned to-day that c. H. Prescott,
manager of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company, rendered his resig-
nation ten days ago to President Smith,
in New York. Up to this date the res
ignation has not been accepted, and it is
thought that it will not be. The resig-
nation of Mr.. Prescott is construed to
mean that the lease of the Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation Company by the
Union Pacific is "otf," for if it were
otherwise it is not likely he would have
desired to leave the service of the com.
pany.

Charles Lux, of the Firm of Lux
& Miller, Dead.

SAN FRANCISCO, March l5.-Charles
Lux, of the firm of Miller & Lux, one of
the largest cattle dealers on the Pacific
coast, died at o'clock this morning, in
his home on the northwest corner Of
Jackson aud Cough streets. Mr.. Lux
received severe fall from wagon, on
his private estate, at Baden, San Mateo
county, about year ago. from the ef-
fects of which he had not entirely re-
covered. This, together with cold
contracted while attending, personally,
to his outdoor business on one of his
ranches during the recent snow. storm,
brought on the fatal illness. The de-
ceased was born in Alsace, and was GA
years of age. He came to this city in
1857, and opened retail butcher-shop.
Five years later he formed partn ershlp
with Henry Miller, under the firm name
Miller & Lux, cattle dealers and whole.
sale butchers. The name of the firm is
associated in the legal annals with what
has thus far probably been the most
important litigation in the history of
the State. This was the great water
rights suit of Miller & Lux VS.. Haggin
& Carr, in which the Supreme Court, in
recent elaborate decisions, upheld the
English doctrine of riparian rights, as
established in California, Miller & Lux
being the prevailing parties. He leaves
